Cyber Warfare Event 411 and FAQ

Cyber Warfare is the new frontier of the criminal world. It may be the cleanest of crimes but it will still make your dirty. All you need is the right tech, and a criminal genius in order to win.

When you're ready to embark on the 'Fifth Domain of Warfare' you can start collecting the parts you will need to master all three levels of the Cyber Warfare event so that you can earn the ultimate Grand Prize. Every other day there will be new gift items unlocked that you can collect, and which will be giftable to your mafia members and friends through the message box on your home page, or the free gifts page.

All of the bits and pieces you'll need to collect will be randomly dropping while you combat your fellow players when fighting and robbing. You'll also be receiving these items when you complete jobs, so make sure you get to work. There will also be the opportunity to collect and share these with your friends through feeds and gifting, so make sure you distribute the bounty so you get yours in return, so join the other nefarious underworld criminals and start collecting the items you will need to

Each of the Cyber Warfare Gifts may randomly drop while doing jobs and fights. These can be shared with friends through your feeds, and friends who click on your feed will give you Cyber Warfare gifts in return. Number of gifts required to master each level are:

• Bronze Star – 4 gifts

• Silver Star – 8 gifts

• Gold Star – 16 gifts

(Total required = 28 per Cyber Warfare gift types)

Players who achieve the Gold Mastery for each stage of the Cyber Warfare event will receive the Grand Prize of the Surveillance Van. The Grand Prize will only be awarded once the Gold Mastery for all three Cyber Warfare gifts has been collected. Players will have the opportunity to repeat the event after reaching the Gold Mastery for all three items. After you have achieved the Grand Prize the Cyber Warfare gift event will reset from the beginning so that you can earn duplicate mastery items. This event can be repeated 2 additional times to earn a maximum of 3 mastery reward items.

Q: When will this event begin?

A: This began on Thursday, April 7th, 2011, and as with all of our previous event releases, this will be gradual to ensure stability within the game. (Not all players will have initial access to this event.)

Q: When will this event end?

A: This event is schedule to end on Tuesday, April 12th, 2011, however, this date is subject to change. A 48 hour countdown timer will start two days prior to the end of the even to keep you on track.

Q: How soon will the other free items unlock?

A: The gift items are scheduled to be released every two days after the start date.

Q: Is it possible to collect multiple Mastery items?

A: After the Grand Prize item has been earned you will have the ability to collect multiples of the 3 Mastery items that have been unlocked. Your best strategy will be to collect enough gifts to achieve the Gold Mastery for each item in the Cyber Warfare mission, and then wait until you have collected the Grand Prize. When the event has been reset, you can go back and collect any extra Cyber Warfare gifts sent to you to fulfill the repeat requirements.

It is important to note that it is possible to have multiple Gold Mastery items, however, only 1 Bronze or Silver Mastery item is allowed to exist at a time. (Example, you might have a Mastery Item in Gold and Bronze, or Gold and Silver.) Once you have a second set of Gold Mastery items, you will receive a second Grand Prize item.

Q: Will there be any limits to the number of Cyber Warfare items that I can be collect from feeds each day?

A: The maximum number of Cyber Warfare gifts that you can claim will be limited to 3 items per day. Although you can only claim 3 items per day, there is not a limit on the number that you can receive through gift requests.

Q: What can I do if I don't have enough Cyber Warfare gifts to master an item?

A: You will have the option to purchase additional Cyber Warfare gifts for reward points in order to complete the mastery. There are no limits to the number of Cyber Warfare gifts that you can purchase each day.

Q: What will happen if I have Cyber Warfare gifts left over after the event has ended?

A: Any unclaimed Cyber Warfare gifts will be converted to regular mystery bags.

Cyber Warfare is considered a heinous crime which threatens everything from our telecommunications networks to power grids. Even the most basic of sundries such as the price of your groceries or automated milking machines are susceptible to the evil workings of Cyber Villains. We neither endorse, nor support the criminal underworld that silently attempts to breach the world of cyber around us.
